Why death is a problem?

I never understood why a problem is when someone wants to die? This is my life. I decide on my life . If they don't let me die, they're forced to live a life I don't want to live. One day everyone will die anyway. Why does anyone decide my life to prevent me from dying? I am young but I've experienced a lot of things. My soul is old. I'm tired and they rest. I am an old soul locked in a young body.
